When John finally went to sleep last night he slept through until 10:30am this morning. When he got up he seemed bright eyed and bushy tailed (well, for him). However, the rest of the day, although much better than yesterday, still had it's ups and downs. Then the 6:30pm meds did not kick in at all and I had to start to give him extra meds. I skipped several feedings and just gave him extra meds instead until he felt some better. I did not want another night like last night.
Margie and I managed to slip out to go to Curves in the morning and a little shopping in the afternoon. Then we spent the rest of the day sitting on the balcony enjoying the lovely sunny weather.
John's cough continues to sound quite phlegmy (I know that is not a real word!!) and I am not sure why it is not clearing up more than it is. It always has in the past.
He does have an appointment with our doctor on Tuesday so if it is not better by then I hope he will change the antibiotics to something stronger. It is hard to find ones that work well for John because they have to be dissolvable and many are not. Right now the one he is on is actually a liquid they give to kids - but in a larger doses than a kid would get.
Please pray for the pneumonia to clear up the coughing and choking to stop.

A neutral day - not good, not real bad.
